Changint the ruler's type of measurement

Asked by Katie Anderson

How does one change the unit of measurement of the rulers from pixels to metric? I've looked in preferences without success.

Thanks.

The rulers reflect the documents default units.

You can change the default units on a per-document level, by opening the
document properties dialog (menu 'File > Document properties'),
selecting the tab 'Page', and change the default units from 'px' to e.g.
'in' (inch) - this 'Default units' setting is at the top of the 'Page'
tab, right below the sub-header 'General'.

Can you help with this problem?
